Envy is one of the most destructive feelings of human beings.
Do you know what it is and what its manifestations are?
The truth is that no one is immune to envy.

- It can come from feelings such as dislike
- Resentment
- Jealousy for what the other has achieved or even for what the other represents or has.
The famous saying “to consider as wasted” what someone else managed to obtain.
The enemy may be right next to you, be careful!
- Because it's a negative feeling, it often gives the impression that only people who don't want to see us well, our enemies, harbor this feeling. However, envy can come from where we least expect it: from our friends. That's right! And this is much more harmful than that which comes from our enemies, because it's veiled and, because it's not sensed, can go unnoticed.
- Because they are close people, friends can influence our decisions because most of the time we give them free access to our plans and even ask for advice to help us with important decisions in our lives, and that is exactly where we can be sabotaged by our friends, whether consciously or unconsciously, so that we are not successful in what we propose to do.
Unfortunately, the percentage of people who truly rejoice in the victories of others is very small; some even find joy in our difficulties and failures. This list includes both enemies and friends.
Being successful is uncomfortable and messes with the ego of those who consider others as not deserving of good things.
Being in the spotlight, in any area, can make the envious person feel like, "I deserve to be in that place!" This can be translated as: "My friend, I hope you're doing well, but not better than me..."

For this reason, when we decide to listen to our friends, we should always do so with a filter activated, as their advice may only be good for themselves.
Run away from those people who give you signs of envy:
- Envy is common and has many faces, but whatever its face, it is always negative. There is no such thing as “good envy.” Often, those who feel it are unable to recognize it. However, pay attention; some signs may reveal people who harbor such feelings, such as those who live in some way comparing their lives with those of other people, placing themselves in a position of superiority or inferiority.
The curious thing is that if the same energy were used for one's own growth, there would be no need to spend time on other people's events and this could undoubtedly contribute to a better quality of life.
